Create a new server profile. After the profile is created, the profile can be 
configured using the "set" subcommand, and additional network, fabric, and FCoE 
connections can also be added. The server profile can also be assigned to a device 
bay using the 
assign
 subcommand. 
Syntax 
add profile <ProfileName> [-NoDefaultEnetConn] 
[-NoDefaultFcConn] [-NoDefaultFcoeConn] [Nag=<nagName>] 
[SNType=<Factory-Default|User-Defined>] 
[SerialNumber=<serialnumber>] [UUID=<uuid>]
Parameter 
ProfileName
The unique name of the new server profile to create 
Options 
NoDefaultEnetConn
Do not add default Ethernet network connections when creating the server profile.
NoDefaultFcConn
Do not add default FC SAN connections when creating the server profile. 
NoDefaultFcoeConn
Do not add default FCoE SAN connections when creating the server profile. 
Properties 
Nag (optional) 
The network access group for the profile. The default is the domain Default network 
access group. 
SNType (optional) 
The source of the serial number assignment to be used during the profile creation. 
If not specified, the serial number is assigned according to the Virtual Connect 
default domain settings. Valid values include "Factory-Default" and "User-Defined".
SerialNumber 
(required if the 
SNType is 
User-Defined) 
A custom user-defined serial number associated with the server profile. When the 
profile is assigned to a device bay that contains a server, the server inherits the 
virtual serial number. The user-defined serial number must start with the pattern 
VCX01. 
UUID (optional) 
A unique 128-bit identifier for the virtual server ID. The format is 
xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx, where x is any alphanumeric character. If 
no UUID is specified, one is auto-
generated. The UUID can be specified only if the 
SNType is "User-Defined".
